Vitamins and minerals are crucial for a healthy, functioning body.
If there’s too little of any particular vitamin or mineral in your body, it sends you a signal in the form of several pesky symptoms.
These symptoms vary for different vitamins & minerals, and are telltale signs that you might be missing several key vitamins your body needs to function.
Because not only does hormonal change take up so much of your body’s energy...
But also, some of these signs of vitamin deficiency might be identical to the menopausal symptoms you’re facing right now.
Which is why today, we will be sharing the 5 most common vitamin deficiencies in menopausal women, as well as tips on how you can maintain a healthy level of vitamin and minerals:
Magnesium might be the fourth most abundant mineral we have in the body, but that doesn’t make it any less important!
It is an absolutely vital nutrient women need to have during menopause, because if you’re low on magnesium levels you’re going to have to deal with:
Daily recommended intake: 320 milligram
The best way to get your much needed intake of magnesium is through your diet.
Common sources of magnesium include: avocado, salmon, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds, almonds, spinach, kale, cocoa beans (70 to 75% dark chocolate)
This mineral is a household name for bone strength, which menopausal women need because menopause has been linked to osteoporosis a.k.a bone loss.
Other low calcium symptoms include:
Daily recommended intake: 1,000 milligram (1,200mg if over 50)
The best foods that you can get your fill of calcium from are dark green leafy vegetables like: cabbages, spinach, kale, cauliflower, broccoli, sardines, dairy products
Unlike it’s siblings, vitamin D is special because it isn’t actually a vitamin, but a hormone the human body produces as a response to sun exposure.
As we get older, we tend to get tired easily and spend most of our time indoors, limiting our vitamin D intake. Now this can cause several symptoms like:
Daily recommended intake: 400 IU
The main source we derive vitamin D from is when we're out in sunlight (15 to 30 minutes for best effect).
However, if you are unable to bathe in the Sun’s rays, some foods do contain vitamin D, foods like: salmon, sardines, cod liver oil, light tuna, egg yolks, mushrooms.
Zinc is another crucial nutrient our body needs to function properly. Zinc naturally declines with age, which is why it is important to always try to keep zinc levels healthy.
Because if you don’t, you might find yourself experiencing:
Daily recommended intake: 8-15 milligrams
The best sources you can get your zinc intake from are: nuts and seeds, red meat, shellfish, dairy, eggs, potatoes.
Vitamin B plays an important role in making sure your mind and body functions as intended. Also known as the building blocks of the body, B vitamins are responsible for maintaining your energy levels, brain function and cell metabolism.
If you don’t take enough vitamin B, you might start experiencing:
Daily recommended intake: Vitamin B-Complex (contains all essential B vitamins)
Because vitamin Bs are so diverse, you need to consume a wide variety of foods to keep your levels healthy: dairy products, eggs, meat, fish, shellfish, spinach, kale, avocados, whole grains, beans, nuts & seeds, citrus fruits, bananas, watermelon.
A healthy and balanced diet is crucial in helping you avoid nutritional deficiencies.
Try to incorporate the foods we’ve mentioned into your regular diet, especially vegetables, avocados, and whole grain because they not only contain the vitamin and nutrient your body needs, it’s also nutritious as well.
However, if you do not like any of the foods we’ve mentioned, feel free to replace it with something that's suitable to your taste buds.
